What this bill does
AI summary from the official description
This bill would require every local school district and charter school to offer a half-day kindergarten class in each school. It would remove the older rule that limited half-day classes to cases where parents asked for them, and it would give local school boards some discretion when half-day enrollment falls below a set number.
